Fiction and Reality.

It is a simple truth to say that many things happen in fiction which would be quite impossible in fact, as any censor knows. It is in failing to dis: tinah between these two that many artists and most critics blunder and thin error is in effect the same as that of the ambitious actor who, having once to play the part, for the first Uma of an intoxicated ruffian in a certain melodrama, went to a neighboring tavern and intoxicated himself. He thought that this would storm the house, but on the contrary he was immediately fired by the management for a fool—and rightly.—P. H. Martin, in the Book Buyer.
